Make Your Spring Cleaning Last
Make Your Spring Cleaning Last
Posted on May 15, 2023
It’s that time of the year where the sun is shining, the birds are chirping, and your vehicle needs cleaning. You’ve changed your winter tires to summers (or all-seasons) and now it’s time to give your vehicle a good clean so you can truly start fresh for the season. Here are some tips on how to make this Spring cleaning last.
Consistency is Key
You won’t need to do a top-to-bottom clean every month if you consistently remove junk before it starts to build up. All it takes is 10 minutes at the end of each week to gather any garbage and wipe down the upholstery.
Commercial Vacuum vs. Home Vacuum
You can vacuum your vehicle at home using different attachments and it will do a decent job picking up some small crumbs and debris. However, if you head over to a car wash and use the commercial vacuum, you will have the power to remove all of the things that might be missed using a home vacuum. This is important as it helps to ensure bacteria doesn’t grow from leftover food that builds up in your vehicle over time. Once bacteria grows, it becomes more complicated than just vacuuming.
Don’t Forget the Interior
Regular cleaning of the interior is just as important as the exterior. Don’t skip on the upholstery cleaning products, as they can be beneficial in keeping your seats and dashboard free of stains and rips. Be sure to get in to those crevices and high-contact areas like cup holders, gearshifts, and dials, too.
Monthly Washes
Keeping the exterior of your car clean is a great way to help prevent rust and corrosion. Rust tends to develop on dirty vehicles, especially during the winter when salt is used to de-ice the roads. If you have an older vehicle, it is best to give it a wash at least once a month to prevent this from happening. During the winter, you’ll want to wash it weekly, if possible. Keeping a steady washing schedule will help keep your vehicle in tip-top shape.
